Needs a new motherboard to run
Requires three memory modules for optimal performance
Australians currently paying twice the price of Americans
Requires an expensive new motherboard
Chipset needs three memory sticks for maximum efficiency
Abstract: If you are building/buying a new system, it would be foolish not to wait for the Core i7, especially the 920. It will outpace current processors by a good margin, within the same price range (Core 2 Extreme, Core Quad 9400), especially in compute or memory-bandwidth intensive applications (3D rendering, compression...)..
Extremely fast; self-overclocking feature; Hyper-Threading gives some of the advantages of eight-core processors
Requires new motherboard socket and chipset; won’t allow some older high-speed memory to run at full speed; requires three or six memory DIMMs for best performance
Abstract: 1,000 Intel processors through the years Not many things are sure in this life, but fortunately there are a number of things you can count on like clockwork. The sun comes up in the morning, we all have to pay taxes and last but not least, the most expe...
With the recent Bloomfield product line Intel presents the most powerful desktop CPU available these times. Especially the Core i7 975 XE delivers more performance than any other CPU on the market and this by a quite big margin. But as expected, so muc...
Quality quadcore performance: works well with audio, video, 3D applications, Large improvement over the previous series, Does well even with nonoptimized software, Low power consumption when idle
Power consumption is high when processor is active, Very expensive
Requires an expensive new motherboard, Chipset needs three memory sticks for maximum efficiency
Thanks to an expensive new motherboard requirement, Intels new Core i7 (Nehalem) desktop processors will remain enthusiast and professional-level parts until more affordable complementary hardware comes out next year. Speed never comes cheap, however
Core i7 is Core 2 with performance cherries on top. On a clock-for-clock basis it can be some 75 per cent faster than the already-potent Core 2 (Penryn) CPU, and it will look increasingly better as more applications are released to take advantage of i...
It’s hard to sum up our feelings about Core i7 in a few sentences but we’ll give it a try. Intel’s new processor seems to owe very little to Core 2 yet it behaves like Core 2 on steroids. At any given clock speed, you get more performanc...
With Nehalem Intel shows a once in a decade overwork of their CPU architecture. Compared to other competitors their integration of the memory controller into the CPU as well as on die routing comes a little late. It seems that Intel was able to learn f...
